Brush the ham with the mustard and sprinkle it with the brown sugar. 3. Pour 1 c. of the Mojo Sauce over the top. Bake in the center of the heated oven for 2 hrs. or until an instant-read thermometer inserted in the thickest portion (not touching bone) registers 140°F (about 15-18 min. per pound), basting every 20-30 min., alternating with 1/4 c. each white wine and remaining Mojo Sauce. 4.
